Mentioned in Ayurvedic writings from at least as early as 327 B.C.E., the practice of massage at the time was referred to as shampooing. This form of massage can still be found today in Turkish bath houses. Calvert writes that Alexander the Great's army can be credited with the spread of massage from India to other countries. Later the British would take the practice from India where living in the colony they experienced shampooing first hand. This fascinating history continues through to the present, where massage enjoys a popularity unmatched by any other hands-on healing modality.
